REST request where server is not closing the socket

@Kolban, are you talking from A) an application - or B) firm/middle ware point of view? I assume the latter, because the callback given to the http (request) is a complete response - and I perceive that callback as the "bracket" callback you are talking about. Whether the 'connection' and with it the socket has to be closed right away or later, is that not defined somewhere else? ...version of the http protocol first, and then seccond with timeout?

Cuttrnyly I'm 'walking' through the AT and ESP8266_0v25-wifi modules to have a better undertanding how things work. NetworkJS and http modules are obviously built-in boudles and source cannot be found under http://www.espruino.com/modules/.

Have to find out how built in-code is pulled and where the source of it resides... Do you know?
